Question

Why does the bronchioles get smaller and smaller before they reach the alveoli?

Answer 1

In your lungs, the main airways (bronchi) branch off into smaller and smaller passageways -the smallest, called bronchioles lead to tiny air sacs (alveoli)

the bronchiole end in tiny air sacs called alveoli, where oxygen is transferred from the inhaled air to the blood, after absorbing oxygen, the blood leaves the lungs and is carried to the heart, the blood then is pumped through your body to provide oxygen to the cells of your tissues and organs.

Answer 2

Answer: Parasympathetic stimulation causes bronchoconstriction while sympathetic stimulation causes bronchodilation. During an asthma attack, the muscles that encircle the airway tighten or constrict, limiting the flow of air to and from the lungs.
